How to take better digital photographs.

First of all you need to set your camera or phone on the highest picture quality and resolution settings in order to capture the maximum amount of information. This will enable us to print detailed and sharp prints with a good colour range and produce an image you will be really happy with.
The down side is because you are using the highest settings on your camera or phone you will not be able to take as many photos as you would if you chose a lower quality setting.

We are happy to accept JPEG or tif files for printing.

If you are photographing a person or your children then try to make eye contact and lower the camera to the kids eye level. This will help to pull you into the photograph and engage with the kids facial expression.

Try to use a plain background or you will lose what you are taking a photo of due to conflicting surroundings. Try to keep an eye out for background attaching itself to various parts of your favourite nieces head or sticking out of her ears!

Always get as close to your subject as possible. You don't have to stand on top of them as you can use your zoom. Try taking a few shots in quick succession as people tend to relax after the first shot and this makes for a better natural photo.

Try taking photos of landscapes or buildings from various angles - look up or down at them - and don't place your focal object in the centre of your photo. Slightly to the left or right, higher or lower will make for a more interesting shot.

Daylight will always give you the best light - try to keep the sun behind you and watch for reflections.

The best tip though is to just experiment and have fun! Don't be scared to take lots of photos and you will soon learn what works and what should be avoided!
